Announcements as of July 28, 2021
I have called you, and you have answered my call --

Do not mistake my silence for weakness, my forest kin. For I am willing to defend you with my fangs and claws, until the days come when am no longer able to. Keep an eye on the borders for Zelda and her sister Midna, because I will welcome them back into the flock on the day of their return.

The flood has left our forest home in a sorry state of disarray. I shall not tolerate this. Summer is here and we must rebuild our dens in time for winter. There is a lot of hard and dirty work ahead of us. But we shall face it together, as family, as a pack. Let's get back to work and then we shall hunt. I hunger for a feast.

From your new Alpha --

Moonshade, the Gravekeeper of Moladion

Return to Lunar Children

He watches the boy with his face showing the concern and worry clear across it. Any other time he might have concealed his thoughts and his feelings, but this was not a time for such trivial things. He felt responsible, after all, for he felt such a way over all of Hush's past children that he had known. Regardless if they resented him, disliked him, or anything of the sort. But the pair, mother and son, that is, are completely immersed in one another. There are no eyes for him, and this, this Sen is okay with. He knows they need this, the both of them. And then their friend is there like a miracle, his timing not able to be any better than for what it was; a simple distraction. Turning his pale, handsome features toward the other male Sen is dipping his skull down low in respect. For after all, as much as Coszcotl was their friend- he was to be their Alpha and that meant the utmost respect for him. He knew that Hush and Coza were very close friends, and knew Hush would probably not feel the need to show any silly sign of respect, but Sen had been raised how he had been. It was but his nature.

'Coza, my dear friend- it has been too long.' The other pale yet darkly marked wolf was excited, Sen could tell, and it was contagious as it had his own pale muzzle stretching in a rather wide grin. He knew that this land, Taviora, would be safe for them, a place for their children to grow and learn and to flourish. And they could help Coza- they would help him grow his pack and keep them all safe and happy. The slender pale wolf had had his hand at healing where he had been raised, and he knew he could put it to good use for a fresh pack such as this one. He would speak more on the matter with the Alpha a time perhaps when it would just be them. For now, he was with his family and it was a time for fresh starts and joy. Except for the fact of Reian being missing, but he had faith in her. He hoped it would not end up as Kellin had- disappearing only to return a year later, or perhaps never again. He does not dwell.

His son's voice is distracting him, pulling his attention away from the male opposite to him. Glancing down at litle Roamin, his dark violet gaze follows the boys own to Kellin and then he's looking back at Roa. 'That, my boy, is your big brother. Kellin.' When he spoke the name, it felt familiar yet so far gone on his tongue. His nose had gestured toward the growing tall skinny boy beside his Mother, and his attention there lingered for a moment. He speaks to Roamin again, but his gaze does not leave Kellin. 'Perhaps you'd like to meet him?' The words are murmured softly, for the young boys ears only and it would be up to him if he wanted to approached. Something told him that the moment the boy knew he could, he would jump right on the opportunity.

Hush's reaction to her son was no surprise. She was still close to him, but Sen could feel her bright lavender gaze occasionally on him, for he always knew the moment his other half was near or her attention was upon him. Granted they were not imprints, as he very well knew, but that did not mean she meant anything less to him. She was his sun, bright, vibrant, full of energy and stunning to look upon. She was his everything and he would not have it any other way, nor would he have his children- any of them, any other way. Even the ones not born to his blood, such as Kellin. Sen remains quiet when Hush notes Coza and speaks to him, voicing her want for them to live here, speaking for him to which he nods slightly. Of course her words are as good as his own. They go hand in hand, after all.

Her further invitation to Kellin has a slight relief going through the pale wolves mind. He did not want to see the boy leaving again, and he knew Coza would not, could not turn the boy away. So long as he chose to stay, he would always be welcome with them, for as long as he wanted. The skinny boy had not spoken again beside addressing his Mother initially, but Sen had seen his gaze turn this way and that. His body posture was that of one very unsure of themselves, and he wished to reach out to the youngster to comfort and reassure him. He figured there had to be some boundaries, and so did his best not to come off too strong. Walking over to the boy and to Hush, he kept his tail lowered as well as his ears back close to his skull. When he spoke his voice was quiet and directed toward the yearling. 'I am Sen. Do you remember me, Kellin?' It's a simple question, and though it might be early for him- Sen simply had to know. Would the boy remember him? Or would he be forgotten, a simple ghost of his past?

Even if he was but phantom, he would do his best to make it not so any longer. He wanted to be there for him, to help him, to help Hush any way that he possibly could. He would do anything for her, for them. Minding himself, he glanced back at Coza who he gave a sheepish smile. It must look odd to the Alpha, to find his friends and perhaps a wolf he did not recall upon his borders, reuniting as they were. Coza probably did not know all about the strange interworkings of their family, but perhaps they could tell him if he would be able to understand. There were so many things going on in such a short amount of time that it was an awful lot for anyone to take in. Hopefully they would be able to sort things out quickly and find their acceptance within Taviora- their adjustment to hopefully the return of Kellin and then the desperate need to figure out where Reian had gone off to. So many things and so little time.

you have ever known is dead and gone

THE FOREST RANKS

THE GRAVEKEEPER

The Alpha Male of Taviora. He will accept all challenges and block any steals. He has taken an oath to protect all within the forest, alive and dead.

THE KEEPER OF SECRETS

This will be Moonshade's chosen co-alpha. They will also be able to accept challanges and steals in order to defend Taviora.

THE KEEPER OF TRUTHS

This rank will belong to the chosen heir of Taviora. This wolf will probably share Moonshade's blood. This rank can be challenged for if you believe that you are a better candidate for the job.

THE FOREST COUNCIL

Although the Alpha's have the final say in all matters, Taviora is still a pack, we are still a community. These wolves are the most senior members of our ranks. Their role is to guide, serve and protect. All of them have earned their place here and they should be respected at all times. Every position on the council can be challanged for by a subordinate pack member. However the council has the right to block a pack member from gaining the position if they have concluded that the individual has placed their own selfish desires before the best interest of the pack as a whole.

THE TUSKS

The packs lead fighter. One of the strongest and bravest in our ranks. They will answer the call to protect the forest if either of the Alpha's are absent.

THE JAWS

The packs head of defence. They are our chief hunter and guardian to all within the forest borders. They know every inch of Taviora and every wolf within.

THE HORNS

The packs most senior teacher. They are responsible for teaching and guiding all of our young and new members so that they will reach their full potential.

THE EYES

The packs trusted informant. This wolf spends a lot of their time outside the forest borders, keeping their eyes, ears and nose peeled for news or potential trouble. Due to the secretive and dangerous nature of this rank, only a wolf that the pack can trust with their lives will obtain this responsibility.

THE DARKDWELLER

This is Taviora�s Head Healer. This wolf is responsible for treating the pack's wounds, injuries and illnesses. They are also expected to be one of the first on scene when a mother goes into labour. Along with their counterpart, The Soothsayer, they will train future healers for the service of our pack and our allies.

THE SOOTHSAYER

This is Taviora�s Head Counselor. Their knowledge of healing and herbal remedies are equal to that of their counterpart, The Darkdweller. This wolf specializes in helping us conquer the unseen demons in our heads and our hearts. They are also expected to help bring all children of the forest safely into this world.

NIGHTWATCHERS

Our trusted packmates that guard the borders while the rest of us sleep safely in our dens. If something is amiss within our lands, they should be the first to intercept any threat and call for back up when needed. Some might not call themselves soldiers, but they will spill blood if push comes to shove.

DAWNSTRIDERS

The most diligent and selfless of our pack. They are up at first light and leave our inner sanctum every few days in search of prey. They hunt far and wide in order to make sure none of us go hungry. While not out hunting, they are free to relax or assist the Nightwatchers, Daylightres or Dawnstriders with their tasks.

DAYLIGHTERS

This group will make up the bulk of our pack, they are our beloved family. They are generalists and commoners who are charged with looking after the most central and sacred parts of our home. Along with The Horns, they are expected to watch out for our children. We are happy to keep all within our ranks that love and respect the forest of Taviora.

DUSKWALKERS

Rumoured to be the most free spirited and independent members of our pack, they guard when no other eyes are available. They wander down all the winding dirt paths and have been known to explore into the freelands. They are envoys and ambassadors who assist The Eyes with their duty of keeping us all safe.

ANCIENT PINES

These wolves are older and have retired from active service. We thank them for all that they have done for our pack, however long or short their tenor was. They shall live out the rest of their years with the best food, shelter and company we can offer them.

THE BRIAR PATCH

This is the name for Taviora�s nursing mothers and their litters of puppies. Once they are born, at least one parent is expected to temporarily step down from their role in order to raise their pups for the first 6 months of their lives. An exemption can be made if another mother is willing to look after the young while the parents resume their service to the pack.

THE SAPLINGS

Too big for the briar patch but not yet old enough to be called a daylighter. These are all puppies between the age of 1 and 3. Pups can start their training from 2 and above if The Horns has found a suitable Mentor for them.

THE WELCOMED

These wolves are welcome within our borders anytime of the day or night. Blocking their access will be met with disapproval and possible punishment.

THE BANISHED

They are enemies of our pack and their presence will not be tolerated within or near our home. Those caught in contact with a wolf on this list will likely share the same fate.

THE SACRED TOMBS

Our brothers and sisters that have sadly left us for their next adventures. We give thanks for their lives and we send them on with all our love, hopes and dreams. Moonshade will accept the bones of any wolf that has ever called Taviora their home and will find them a special place within our hallowed grounds. Every burial mound is individual and sacred. Tampering or messing with one will not be tolerated. A crime against the dead will be treated as though it has been committed against a living pack member.

Remember, we are always watching from the shadows ...
